It’s a beautiful word when applied to your account by The LORD Himself!

Birthing
What if I said: “When you were born (birthed) into this world, you came by water and blood, would you concur?” Think about it. I don’t need to spell it out here, do I?
So, can you also concur that when we are born (birthed) into the Kingdom of GOD, it is by Water and Blood (applied and administered by HOLY SPIRIT)?
What can I say, Birthing doesn’t happen without water and blood, neither physical nor spiritual.
This being true, instead of being squeamish about the Blood of YESHUA, could we not, from this day forward, glory in it?
Could we not, with unexplainable reverence and joy, rest easy in The Blood of Our Savior? Could we not unashamedly speak of His Blood to ourselves and others every day?
Just asking.
So, since this truth is as bright as a new LED to me today, how could I not spiel it here with you all?
The King James concurs: 1 John 5: 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
There is no remission of sins without the shedding of Blood. See Hebrews 9: 20 saying, “THIS IS THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT [that seals and ratifies the agreement] WHICH GOD ORDAINED and COMMANDED [me to deliver to] YOU.” 21 And in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the containers and sacred utensils of worship with the blood. 22 In fact under the Law almost everything is cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness [neither release from sin and its guilt, nor cancellation of the merited punishment]. source
Thank you for bearing with me — this is a long one, but I hope it has been good and worth the read to you!

Fresh Figs
Offer taste, texture, nourishment – a worthy accomplishment, don’t you think?
A good day to be fruity, Kathie

People I love dearly, including myself, 🥰 I have heard say, ‘I just can’t resist it; if it’s in front of me, I am going to eat it or drink it.’ We must repent of this. 
As Christians, we say that we have the Spirit of Almighty GOD living within us. The same Spirit of GOD who is so powerful that He raised JESUS from the dead.
Graveyard dead, y’all.
I mean His heart was not beating, respiration had ceased, there was no oxygen in His lungs, and His body was in full repose for THREE DAYS! This was the state of JESUS our Savior and Father GOD raised His body from complete deadness to Living, Breathing again!
And we as Christians say we cannot resist a bag of potato chips or one more piece of cake? How can we deny Him like this?! How can we do this in the sight of so great a cloud of witnesses? Hebrews 12:1-3. I can only think it is ignorance at best and at worst . . . something else.
Please join me in repentance! Please see with me that for us to consistently place empty, excessive, non-nutritious calories, and even harmful substances into our bodies denies the power of GOD that we say we have living within us. Yes, I am mindful that Scripture speaks of occasional feasting . . . it also teaches frequent fasting. How can GOD deliver, rescue, and redeem us from hell and damnation and be so weak He cannot give us victory over a second plate of boneless chicken wings? Don’t you see with me that we must NOW, today begin to live in victory? If we do not, what evidence do we have to offer people around us who do not know JESUS?
Let me say it this way: We must love The LORD our GOD more than we love sugar and flour.
I read this to my beloved and he replied that it’s not just food and drink, this could be applied to anything in our lives. I wonder if he meant football and golf?
23 Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men,24 because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism. Colossians 3 Source
